Mercy street mentoring: mercy street provides long-term, one-on-one mentors to every child in our target schools who desires to have one. The cultivation of these mutually transforming relationships contributes to students in our mentoring program having higher graduation rates, higher grade level advancement rates, lower teen pregnancy rates, and lower teen incarceration rates than their peers each year through both one-on-one mentoring, after-school group mentoring, and in-school group mentoring we serve 200 youth annually.

Mercy street leadership: through the mercy street leadership institute, 25-35 high school students each year are provided paid internship opportunities focused on preparing them for life after graduation. Each summer, students are equipped with workforce development training, theology classes, college and career readiness training, job shadowing, mental health training, financial literacy classes, business exposure trips, college and university tours, and paid work experience.
